- LP: wlh ---- "yearning ----" for wlh "distraught"
- Commentary
- The text (or possibly the copy) is unfinished with a few stray marks after the h. We have taken the last three letters as a participial circumstance clause *wālih "distraught" reference to his mental state while he was camping there, but it also possible that they should be read w l- -h ---- "and his is ----".
